1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Mesocotyl length is a key trait affecting seedling emergence and establishment in dry direct-seeded rice, with longer mesocotyls promoting rapid and uniform emergence, thereby forming larger effective populations. Therefore, mining genes associated with mesocotyl length will facilitate the development of rice varieties suitable for dry direct seeding. In this study, 300 rice germplasm resources with a wide range of sources were selected as experimental materials. Phenotypic traits such as mesocotyl length and seedling emergence rate were systematically determined in each variety by setting different mulch depth treatments. Genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) was used to locate QTL controlling mesocotyl length and predict candidate genes. The results showed that mesocotyl length increased significantly with greater soil cover depth, while excessively deep sowing treatments inhibited seedling emergence. The GWAS analysis identified four QTLs associated with mesocotyl length and two QTLs associated with seedling emergence, with phenotypic contributions of 6.96-8.48%. Among them, the mesocotyl length-related QTL
